The five major world religions - John Bellaimey

Explore the intertwined histories and cultures of the major religions: Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

--

It's perfectly human to grapple with questions, like 'Where do we come from?' and 'How do I live a life of meaning?' These existential questions are central to the five major world religions -- and that's not all that connects these faiths. John Bellaimey explains the intertwined histories and cultures of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

Hinduism: We are one.
Judaism: Even the most simple things can have a great impact on our lives.
Christianity: We must all show love to one another, as God has shown love to all of us.
Buddhism: We can find happiness if we don't let it come at the cost of others.
Islam: Always strive to go the extra mile in being a better person.

All the comments about people saying they are shocked there are no negative comments stops people from making actual negative comments

[why]

Expectation: _Comments are turned off._
Reality: _peaceful coexistence_
*Reality is often disappointing, but not this time.*

My son is 8 years old and he's been taught about Christianity( I'm more agnostic). His mother would take him to church, I take him with me to my supervisors church( he's active in it and invites me). Recently, had a discussion with a friend about religion and our kids. When I mentioned to my son there's other religions we came about that we'll research religions together to know more of them.

I've chosen this video for us to start this journey together.

If you've read all of it, thank you. Have a great day. 💪

I'm guessing everyone who watched this video is open minded and mature? Thought it'd be a war zone down in this comment section.

[apolosibose]

Non-toxic comment section

Thanos: impossible

[deeznutz]

I'm not religious in any way whatsoever but this video shocks me, someone talking about all major religions in a completely unbiased way and a comment section where everyone respects each other is much more rare than it should be. Great video for everyone to learn from

[nesaradamsutha]

As a buddhist, im proud of my religion and no matter what religion u are in be proud of ur religion and respect other religions.

[giladmeshulam]

So basically judaism, islam and christianity are 3 different dlc expansions for the same game

[nipunkothare]

people wondering why the comments are peaceful -
The viewers of ted-ed are intellectuals. Knowledge brings peace to people.

[jeffmcbobberson]

I'm a Hindu myself, but I still believe there's life lessons to learn from every religion

[ofpuwrn]

I love that he used chronological order to describe the religion's.

[dsahgkg]

i really like how the narrative is unbiased to every religion

[mslmh.x]

love how he talked so respectfully about every religion and wasn’t biased at all

[fortytwofishes]

"Love others as I have loved you." - As a Christian, I hope to live these words to my fellow human brothers and sisters, whatever their religion may be. <3

[CosmoJ]

As a Muslims, it's really fun learning about other religion and I think they all are somehow connected
Edit: I mean the connections in some teachings dude

[probablyisaac]

religion: love others
people: *peace was never an option*

[HafifSyukra]

Now that's a way of doing an unbiased video.

[willymunksby]

Im agnostic, and used to be quite resentful towards religions, but Ive learnt to appreciate them and find religions like Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism to be extremely interesting. Very telling of how we function as humans. Much love to all those of faith

[Matteon]

Alhamdulillah I reverted to Islam after study all of these different religions. A truly blessing it was the best decision I've ever made.
. peace and blessings be upon you all.
